Art is divine but need not be the artists. This contradiction
is the plot of this novel. It is the story of a classical singer Mohan Lal and
his women. On his way to mastery of the Hindustani music, he scores over many
females. Two failed marriages and other relationships does not deter him from his
path to popularity and fame, rather they fuel it. Like all things come to an
end, his musical career too tops out coinciding with his failure in indulging
in bodily pleasures resulting in calling off of his relationships. He attempts to review
some of the facts from his past, the responsibilities he ran away from, but with
no great success. His break-down in the musical performance prepares the ground
for the rise of a new artist, one of his pupils and a past associate.
